With powerful women on the catwalk, expressing the brand’s edginess, we created a tangible experience, bringing the brand closer to the consumer and create the first “Face Show” ever.

We took this experience to the digital world. The make-up looks that were shown on the runway were translated into wearable looks, based on the latest make-up trends 2015. Just by a click in the video the users at home can see them and also purchase the products.
